Launch the program from cli * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? $ exiftool -v (or any other options) * What was the outcome of this action? "Open" is not exported by the Image::ExifTool module Can't continue after import errors at /usr/local/bin/exiftool line 33. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/bin/exiftool line 33. * What outcome did you expect instead? exiftoo to work * Extra informations Tried to reinstall exiftoo as well as perl but that did not solve the problem.

This is actually not needed that you create a symlink. /usr/bin/exiftool is provided by the package. But you previously invoked in the sheell having probably a preference of /usr/local/bin before /usr/bin. I guess after removing the file you did not invoked hash -r in bash to forget the remembered locations of a command? (see hash under SHELL BUILTIN COMMANDS in bash(1)). Regards, Salvatore
